Review this video!
This rifle has an incredible reputation for reliability, but the trigger pull is often excessively heavy, rough and crude. Get more performance from this rifle by improving one of it's weakest features, the trigger pull.

I like the AGI videos a lot in general. They're concise but thorough, get straight to the point, and use a lot of good close-ups and cutaway models to illustrate the points.
I have one complaint about the AGI "trigger job" videos, and this one is no exception. Anytime they "stone" a trigger surface is (remove material with an abrasive stone), they tend not to mention what type or grit of stone they're using. There are many materials that can be used to abrade metal, so it would be nice to hear some specifics. That said, as long as you're careful it shouldn't be difficult to figure it out for yourself. But given how thorough the AGI courses tend to be, I find it odd that they omit this detail.
Otherwise, this is another good quality video in the AGI series.
WARNING: This video does not include the disassembly and reassembly of the trigger group.
A trigger job on an AK-47 is simple; nothing like one for a 1911 .45 pistol for example but reassembly of the trigger group is slightly challenging.
You can get the same information on a trigger job from the AK-47 Armorer's course plus assembly and disassembly instructions. I rented both thinking the trigger job would not be included in the armorer’s course. I was wrong.
The trigger video does include more general information on sear systems and covers the trigger work on the AK in more detail. Get it if you want a little more information or if someone has buggered your trigger and you are trying to correct their FU.
